- Question for local friends - (candlelight Christmas church service)

[antithesis_tk]

Do you know of or plan on going to a candlelight church service around Christmas?

Or, if not, would you be interested in going with me if I find one to attend?

I'm not sure what you mean by "candlelight", but my parents and I go to a midnight mass (actually at 10:00) on Christmas eve at St. Louis. I'm sure you could come along if you wanted to.

The candle-light services I am talking about are where each person in the congregation gets a candle, and then the lights go out and the pastor lights one persons candle and they in turn light the candle of the person next to them, etc.. around the room until all the candles are lit. All the while, everyone is singing Christmas carols and hymns, and they continue for a while with the room lit up by candles. Its pretty cool.

Midnight mass sounds great though. I haven't been to a Catholic Christmas mass before, just their regular Sunday ones. I'm definitely interested in going with you guys. :)

I would be interested if I am not busy. :) let me know the times.

Update: apparently the church on the corner University & Warren is doing a candlelight service (says so on their banner, at least). Dunno the times, though. You may have to call them.
